just a thought if the ls460 front or your longer rear bumper adds any unwanted aero characteristics at speed. the air ride also is a contributing factor if blown or leaking dampers are present.

did the shop install weights on both inner and outer barrel locations? sometime they are lazy and only install on one side. camber shouldn't affect weight balancing. also make sure there isn't any water collecting in the inner barrel (usually only when driving through puddles or after a wash). i know my wheels due to design that water can collect and cause a temporary imbalance.

what do you mean by inner and outer barrel?
outer lip? no.
do you mean isntalling the weights close to the mounting face of the wheel near the center?

if so then: "good" shop puts on a lot of weight (~1oz) in the middle of the wheels (near the mounting face), and then some on the inner most part of the barell, which ends up being usually a small amount.
Of course-the actual amount required is dictated by the amount the rotating assembly is out of balance.
